How do I update using the automatic updater?
Make sure the "Waterfox Updater" shortcut has the correct parameter attached to it:
"C:\Program Files\Waterfox\updater.exe" /checknow
Note: The update might not be immediately available via the automatic updater. Check in an hour or so.
How do I change the language on my Waterfox Installation?
- In the address bar, type 'about: config' then press "enter" to access the options of Firefox.
- In the search bar just below, enter the following string: general.useragent.locale
- Right-click it and click on "Modify", then enter, for example, "en-US" to set it to English.
- You can get the .xpi's from here. (Wait until a news post has been made saying the language packs have been updated to 18.0.1)
